Soft, Pastel Gray Hair Makeup with Subtle Shimmer

Since I often share recommendations and tutorials, naturally my posts may contain affiliate links to the products I use and love. If you take action (make a purchase, for example) after clicking one of these links, I will earn a little coffee money, which I promise to drink while creating more helpful content for you.

Today’s focus is a soft, pastel gray hair makeup with subtle shimmer look. I realize shimmer is often on the “what not to do for over-40 makeup” lists, but rules are boring.

I like to keep my makeup time well under ten minutes. This took about seven. 

All Products used today for this soft, pastel gray hair makeup with subtle shimmer look are non-toxic and cruelty-free.

This post contains affiliate links, which means if you shop through these links I will earn a small commission.

For today’s soft, pastel gray hair makeup with subtle shimmer look, I used:

Skin Twin Featherlight Foundation in light 230

Skin Twin Creamy Concealer in Light 1

I use the Better Beauty Blender to apply my foundation and concealer and to set concealer with powder

Mattifying Powder (apply with a damp beauty blender to set concealer) gently buff after it has set for a few minutes.

Illuminating Cream Highlighter in Rose Glow for cheeks, lips, and lids (applied with fingertips).

Illuminating Cream Highlighter in Pearl Glow as Highlighter on Brow bone and Cheeks

Lily LoLo Eyebrow Duo Powder for Brows

ILIA Mascara

B Fearless Lipstick (just a touch to add a deeper pink over the rose glow).

That’s it. I really like this look. It’s natural and youthful.

Want to make some makeup changes but feel overwhelmed? 

I know color selection can be challenging, so thankfully there are resources on the website to help, like the shade finder resource, and the Flawless in Five set, which is how I got started, walks you through foundation, concealer, blush, and gloss suggestions.  You can see my Flawless in Five picks here. 

Did you know I offer one on one video consultations?

For those of you who like a good before and after, this is our summer construction project: screened in porch and gas fire pit. 🔥

We have been outside more in the past two weeks than in the previous three years combined.

☀️The back is south facing and just too hot without the shade.

If you need me, you’ll know where to look. ☺️

Thank you, @aspen_outdoor_designs for helping us bring our vision to life. We are beyond thrilled. ❤️

I love these!

For size reference: I am 5 foot 5 (36 D) and weigh 180 pounds. I wear a large and it isn’t tight or loose. It is perfect. It is thin but not see through and great for layering!

Type TEE into the text box for a direct link to these tees.

I hope you will love them as much as I do.

This is a no fuss, barely there makeup look perfect for hot, sunny, summer days.

‼️Dual and triple purpose products are my faves. The cheek color is great for lips and lids and the tinted moisturizer is full of skincare ingredients and has spf, so it saves the need for additional skincare and a separate sunscreen. ☀️Never skip the sunscreen!

➡️Comment Cart for a direct link to the main 5 products used for this look.
➡️Comment Brows for a link to the brow powder
➡️Comment ALL for a link to everything, including my bracelets.

I was trying to record a reel, but Tater had other plans. 😻 I let her derail me because snuggles are important, too.
